The Wee Hours

~ early, early in the morning ~

I like the wee hours of morning….

 

when there is no color to distract us

black and white, motionless

       our souls

reluctant to the coldness of early winds

content in our cocoon, blanketed by the night

               

You find me in the dark and time slips away in a dream

I’m afraid to wake you

                          afraid of waking up

                                    afraid you will fade away

 

It is only when you’re gone, I understand your presence

you shelter me

you comfort me

you control me

you numb me

you could fool me…

                                                                I wouldn’t know it

 

Inevitably the sun rises, innocent and new

                                 and it is too late

 

                                                                …because I love you

' You find me in the dark and time slips away in a dream .. '

Such beautiful, sensual, incredible, inspiring words, wrapped in that tissue-wrapping style of yours. In a way, I feel like a voyeuse peeping from a shadow. but in no way dirty., Tis more in awe of what births such touches of glory!

Julie, You should definitely write a textbook called "Imagery in Writing." In those early hours, devoid of colorful baubles, one can find the bare essence of reality. It is during these hours that one does such clear, uninterrupted thinking...whether about politics, the culinary arts....but mostly the love that is sprinting through your heart and mind. The clarity one can realize at these times can be startling. A very beautiful piece, Julie. This goes right into my library favorites. Thank you for that. take care...dan

Souls connected without distraction when the body is in slumberous comfort beneath warm blankets... residual love felt by the heart and relived in dreams where you fall in love all over again... a stunning piece of poetry, Julie, and a wonderful photo to accompany them... - FT

The first thing I see when I scroll down is the beautiful image. Then the poem so beautifully expressed, the love for the special person is painted like another image but in your writing this time. Having that love and peace, it is so special to have and how wonderful. Nice, nice, nice.

Thank you my sweet friend :) Julie

Romantic and drowsily and delicately full of sensuality and romance Julie. You capture the time before the dam breaks and the rational of light invades with its stark reality.

[MsJewel]

Thank you John :) Julie

To know the serenity and security of having the one you love
Beside you...... surround you....
Encompass your heart and soul
Is truly what dreams are made of. ...
And what truly wonderful poetry is inspired by.

What a lucky guy.
